Some of the first and most familiar formal 16th century Italian gardens, the Boboli Gardens were originally laid out for Eleonora di Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici, the first stages of the garden were scarcely begun by Niccolò Tribolo before he died in 1550. His work was then continued by Bartolomeo Ammanati.
